Can't find Skype.

Hi,

I'm on a 64-bit box and want to install Skype.  I know that Skype isn't ported to 64-bit, but the 32-bit version can be made to work.

I've made sure that my pacman sources search "Community", but for some reason, I'm not finding Skype.

When I go to the AUR page on the Arch website, I can search for and find the package.

I followed the Arch wiki, have missed something?

Cheers,

Chris.

Re: Can't find Skype.

AUR contains only builds. you can't install those packages via pacman. download the tarball from  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=7914 extract it and run makepkg. for more details about building aur builds read http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AUR_User_Guidelines

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
